📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Exodus, God was using Moses to confront Pharaoh and demand the release of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, as part of a series of plagues to demonstrate His power. The magicians of Egypt, who were court sorcerers relying on their own enchantments and occult practices, tried to replicate the miracles God performed through Moses, such as bringing frogs to show that their magic could match divine acts. This event highlighted the growing futility of Egypt's false powers in the face of God's supremacy.
